Safeguarding

At Living Waters Church we recognise the responsibility of each individual to prevent the physical, sexual and emotional abuse, or neglect of children and young people as well as vulnerable adults.

We also recognise the responsibility that we have as a church to act if abuse comes to light; and to protect children, young people and vulnerable adults from the possibility of suffering abuse within the church or in the course of its activities. For this reason we follow a comprehensive child protection policy, which is based on guidance from the Thirtyone:eight (Churches Safeguarding Advisory Service) and is reviewed annually. All our youth and children’s workers are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked regularly.
